After three weeks of silence, Shock Waves is back. Hosts Ryan Turek (Shock Till You Drop’s managing editor) and Lawrence Raffel (FEARnet.com) are back to briefly reflect on the highlights of Comic-Con.

The two present mini-reviews of Rise of the Planet of the Apes, Super Hybrid and Atrocious. Also on the discussion table: The forthcoming Resident Evil: Retribution. Should fans be more open-minded about cinematic adaptations of their favorite properties?

Lawrence and Ryan also field questions from Shock Waves listeners. What got the hosts into horror in the first place? Are there any horror directors today showing promise? And finally, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3D. Ryan thinks the casting for the new film is too gimmicky, Lawrence disagrees. All of this and more!
